Whole New You is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin, released in 2001 by Columbia Records. It was her first new release in over four years.[2] While A Few Small Repairs is, "her divorce album," Whole New You is about family, commitment, and acceptance.[2] The album retains the sixties folk-pop feel provided by collaborator John Leventhal.[3][2] According to AMG, "The most interesting song is the most complex one," "Another Plane Went Down".[2]
